Baroque

Edit 0 18 …
The Baroque Era happened around the 1600's (17th century) in Europe. It was a reaction against Mannerism which was a very complex art. Baroque art however, was less complex, more realistic, and had greater naturalism and emotionalism than Mannerism. The Catholic Church also encouraged this type of art.

2. List two ways the Baroque Era was different from Mannerism.

3. Do you think Baroque art or Mannerism art affected people the most? Why?
